The director of the department of game and fish | 0012| may provide special envelopes and application blanks when a | 0013| special drawing is to be held to determine the persons to | 0014| receive licenses. Money required to be submitted with these | 0015| applications, if enclosed in the special envelopes, need not be | 0016| deposited with the state treasurer but may be held by the | 0017| director until the successful applicants are determined. At | 0018| that time, the fees of the successful applicants shall be | 0019| deposited with the state treasurer and the fees submitted by | 0020| the unsuccessful applicants shall be returned to them. | 0021| B. Beginning with the licenses issued from a | 0022| special drawing for a hunt code on public lands that commences | 0023| on or after April 1, 1997: | 0024| [(1) seventeen percent of the licenses shall | 0025| be issued to nonresidents. Except for antelope and javelina | 0001| licenses, each nonresident applicant shall, at the time of | 0002| submission of the application for the license, sign the | 0003| application and identify the registration number of the New | 0004| Mexico registered outfitter who will be used with the hunting | 0005| party that includes the nonresident. The nonresident shall be | 0006| required to contract for outfitting services with the New | 0007| Mexico registered outfitter identified in the application. | 0008| Except for antelope and javelina licenses, the nonresident | 0009| shall not be allowed to hunt with a license issued from a | 0010| drawing for a hunt on public lands without utilizing and being | 0011| physically accompanied on the hunt by the New Mexico registered | 0012| outfitter identified in the application, or one of that | 0013| outfitter's guides; provided, however, that this requirement | 0014| shall not apply to lands under the control of the federal | 0015| military if the military objects to it. In a hunt covered by | 0016| this paragraph that requires a New Mexico registered guide, | 0017| there shall be at least one New Mexico registered guide or | 0018| outfitter accompanying every four or fewer nonresident hunters; | 0019| (2) three percent of the licenses shall be | 0020| issued to individuals listed on an application where at least | 0021| two of the applicants are residents and no more than two of the | 0022| applicants are nonresidents. Each resident must be a New | 0023| Mexico resident for at least one year prior to submitting the | 0024| application. Nonresidents listed on such applications shall | 0025| not be required to utilize the services of a registered New | 0001| Mexico guide or outfitter, provided the nonresidents are | 0002| physically accompanied on the hunt for that hunt code by the | 0003| residents listed on the application; and] | 0004| (1) up to twenty percent of the licenses | 0005| shall be issued to nonresidents; and | 0006| [(3)] (2) at least eighty percent of the | 0007| licenses shall be issued to residents of New Mexico. | 0008| C. If the number of nonresidents who apply for | 0009| licenses pursuant to the provisions of [Paragraphs (1) and | 0010| (2)] Paragraph (1) of Subsection B of this section does not | 0011| constitute the [allocated percentages] maximum allowable | 0012| twenty percent figure identified in [those provisions for a | 0013| hunt code] that paragraph, then all of the nonresident | 0014| applicants shall be granted licenses, and the remainder of the | 0015| licenses shall be made available to residents for the special | 0016| drawing for that hunt code. | 0017| D. If the determination of [seventeen percent or | 0018| three percent in Paragraphs (1) and (2)] twenty percent in | 0019| Paragraph (1) of Subsection B of this section yields a | 0020| fraction of: | 0021| (1) five-tenths or greater, the number of | 0022| licenses to be issued shall be rounded up to the next whole | 0023| number; and | 0024| (2) less than five-tenths, the number of | 0025| licenses shall be rounded down to the next whole number. | 0001| E. The fee for a nonresident license for a special | 0002| drawing in a high-demand hunt covered in Subsection B of this | 0003| section shall be assessed at the same rate as a license for | 0004| nonresident quality elk or quality deer. As used in this | 0005| subsection, "high-demand hunt" means: | 0006| (1) a hunt where the total number of | 0007| nonresident applicants for a hunt code in each unit exceeds | 0008| twenty percent of the total applicants based on data for the | 0009| two immediately preceding years; or | 0010| (2) an additional hunt code designated by the | 0011| department of game and fish as a quality hunt." | 0012| Section 4.
